A very fine sign of the local times
is an increase in tiie commerce of the
port of Brunswick and a correspond¬
ing increase in the number of ships
headed for the part.
Then again, we rather imagine
that Premier Poincare took good cure
to see that there was a string tied to
that resignation, before he sent it to
President Miilerai.d.
The day is rapidly approaching
when the problems of the whole world
will rest easily on the shoulders of
the army of high school graduates,
turned out each year all over these
United States.
Brunswick’s best asset today is her
well, organized commercial organiza¬
tions. Our Board of Trade is one of
the best equipped in the South and it
is doing fine work for Brunswick.
The others are all doing their bit in
the work.
We are told that there is to be per¬
fect harmony between the next Gov¬
ernor of Georgia and the State high¬
way department. Unless we arc bad¬
ly mistaken there has been a little too
much harmony between the present
Governor of Georgia and the. present defurU
head of the State highway
ment.
Governor Smith, of New York, is
at least taking his time in the mat¬
ter of acting on the Mullan-Gage
(prohibition) law in New York. If
he approves the bill repealing the
law, he flies in the face of the consti¬
tution of the land and makes friends
with the drys. If he vetoes it, he
slaps his legislature in the face and
makes an enemy of the wets!
Say what you please about it and
think what you like about it, but the
fact remains that Henry Ford is a
formidable candidate for President of
the United States on the Democratic
ticket. Senator Ashurst, just back
from a trip through nineteen West¬
ern states, reports that Ford is the
most popular prospect for' 1924.
Dredge and steam shovels arc mak¬
ing the very sweetest sort of music
to Brunswick people rr on Glynn
avenue, where the work is underway
on the great St. Simon highway. This
development is one of the most stu¬
pendous ever attempted in Georgia
and its final completion next May,
will mean much to Brunswick and to
all Georgia.
Premier Baldwin, of England, is a
very unique character. It has (level
oped since his elevation to the Prime
Ministership, that back in 1918, wnen
his country was hard pressed for
funds,, that he took stock of his per
sonal fortune, one of the largest if;
the empire, and then gave his person¬
al check to his government for one
fourth of it!
Here is a suggestion to the City
Commission and one wfc arc sure will
meet the approval of all of the peopi:
of the city. Why not employ the whole
public works department for a solid
week on the job of cleaning up Hr
Boulevard? This is a beautiful drive
way of wonderful attractions and i
is a pity to have it littered always
with the garbage of the city. Let’s
chan it up and beautify it and
it in that shape.

FORD - A FOTEMTAI
CANDIDATE
“Day by day, in every way” it is
dawning on the American people that
Henry Ford is growing in the popu
Lu- f avor of the people as a presiden
tial possibility in 1924.
Collier’s Weekly has inaugurated a
poll and it lias been in operation now
for only a short time, yet it shows
that Ford is way yonder the choice
of those who have so far expressed
themselves in the Democratic column,
From every section of the country
comes the information that Ford is
popular; that he is regarded as the
most picturesque individual in the
land, with a ready panacea for all of j
the 8U with which the American peo- j
l’le are now suffering. j
j urst, Just of a Arizona, few days ago, Democrat, Senator return- Ash- j
i a
cvl from a tour of nineteen Western j
states#with the statement that in all
n; these states, lie found a strong
Ford sentiment and a growing one. j
There is something about Ford that J
siciris to be attracting the attention
s; the laboring man and the farmer |
and if it goes far enough it is going
to be hard to counteract. Savannah in j
The esteemed Press its j
issue of May 26 discussing the Ford j
situation says: I
Henry Ford protrudes into the '
commercial and public life of the i
country at all points. !
In spite of his own disclaimer,
'
it is very evident that his friends
are putting him in the list for the
Presidency of the United Slates.
One of the magazines has taken
a straw vote and finds that Ford,
Harding and McAdoo are the
three most prominent candidates
in the two parties. Ford evident- ;
• ly is geting big support on both I
sides, but the Republican fear
right now is that he might re¬ !
ceive the Democratic nomination. ;
To fact, the big manufacturers 1
himself is said to be more inter¬
ested in the suggestion than he
was at first,j for originally he
laughed at the idea of being a
candidate and declared that his
work was as important as that
of President.
But advices from the West are
that Ford is unusually strong.
Southern farmers arc said to be
for Ford because he wants to ;
develop Muscle Shoals and bring
about the manufacture of cheap
fertilizer. Ford is a genius and :
even -' Senator Pal Harrison, of 1
Mississippi, is impressed with j
Ford’s executive ability. He is i
a mechanical magician and might
be a good man to tinker with na¬ J
tional affairs in Washington. i
That’s what Pat Harrison says. |
Mr. McAdoo realizes that Ford j
is a possibility and may be a I
menace to anyone who seeks the !
Democratic nomination. The !
j Western Democracy would prob¬ 1
; ably be for McAdoo next to Ford.
The wiseacres in Washington say
that the Republicans, by fighting
the award of Muscle Shoals to
Ford, have really erected Ford j
into a formidable candidate for 1
President. Whether Mr. Ford
could enter into a government :
contract and run for President at i
the same time is improbable.
But undue and bitter opposition
has really made a national figure
out of the automobile maker.
Mr. Ford scents to occupy the
same place in the national nomi¬
nation contest that Herbert
Hoover occupied three years ago.
Lots of people wanted him for
President, but Mr. Hoover would
not say whether he was a Demo¬
crat or a Republican. The con¬
sequence was he was not taken
up by either side.
J One critic in Washington says
th'at,, though Mr. Ford has the
> in him,
makings of a great man
“the parts are lying more or less
j in disorder.”
Henry Ford has the conviction
j that ho has a real message for
j the world to do a real service for
mankind. There are plenty of
i for not nominating Hen¬
J reasons
ry Ford for President, but as the
i Washington correspondent of the
) Macon Telegraph says:
f “The Ford boom is the livcst
j subject of. political gossip in
! Washington today.”

: (Ye have refused to become alarm
ml by the exodus from the farm,
which in recent months lias become
, more, pronounced than ever before.

Agriculture throughout thc age?
lias performed its service better, per¬
haps, than any other phase of indus¬
try, yet it has been less adequate!;
compensated; than any other
try. With the exception of occasion¬
al so called “famine years,” agricul¬
ture has fed the world abundantly,
It is seldom that agriculture has fail
ed to supply the demand for its pro
ducts. More often there has been
j overproduction than under produc
tion. Almost always since the com
ing of mechanical devices agriculture j
has given employment to more per
sons than was necessary. Consequent- j
ly, agriculture has been unprofitable (
to the individual worker, with a scat- !
tering of exceptions. That has tend- j
sd to encourage lethargy, if not laz-1
iness, on the farm. Too much man ! \
power on the farm has caused a slack
ening of effort I
If, for illustration, five men were!
employed on a farm where two could ;
working have performed all of the work by j
as many days and as many i
hours dustries, as it are customary in other divide in- j !
was was necessary necessary to to diving j
the compensation between the three, j
That condition also cultivated lethar¬ ;
gy, because it is human nature that j
the less one does the less he desires :
to do. As a result, with the ever
present exceptions, man power on j
the farm has not worked at full elti- i
ciency. It was unnecessary for the
three men to work as hard as the two j
would have been compelled to \y:6rk j
to accomplish the same job. So!
neither of them worked at his best.
As the third man leaves the farm,!
ihe two remaining will feel at first as j
they are unequal to the task that
is left them, and we who depend upon \
them for our food may tremble with j
fear lest they be unable to provide i
uc. Bui they will work a little hard¬
er and soon find that it was not such
an overwhelming job, after all, and
that they are capable of doing it with ;
greater profit to themselves than j
when the third man was with them. ;
Increased profit to the individual j
will be an incentive to him to work
even more and harder. In the course j
of time the two, with the aid of ina
chinery, may find that they are pro- j
ducing more than did the three. Then |
there may be another apparent reduc¬
tion in profit and one of them will
leave the farm to enter some other in¬
dustry where the same effort on his
part will bring greater returns. Still
the one man left on the farm will
feed his quota of the people of the j
world and we will go merrily on, with- !
out famine, because agriculture will
be approaching a standard of effi- 1
ciency in production such as is being 1 .
followed already in most other indus
tries.
Alarmists may attempt to djscon- I
ccrt us with the cry of danger, but
our confidence in mankind, our knowl- ,
edge that agriculture through all the J
ages has never failed to supply the J
needs of the world, and our faith in
the Creator whose abundance is he- i
yond the conception of the human ;
mind, impels us to feel that this re- |
adjustment will be for the betterment j
of all of us. j

THE TROUBLE WITH I’HE
WEATHER
It is said that freakish weather j
conditions exist in every quarter of \
the globe. Scientists are endeavoring
to explain. French, English and Am ;
erican scientists declare that it is due
to a decrease in the sun’s heat of;
three or four degrees, while German j
scientists are sure that it is due to
the French occupation of the Ruhr. .
Hon. Mikusato, chief weather prog¬
nosticator of Japan, says that the I
spring output of yellow catfish have j
jumped too high out of the water, j
while the chief head hunter of Borneo |
attributes the unusual situation to the j
lean condition of his victims.
Whatever the causes, they arc no j
doubt unusual, for in the memory of j
men and animals on this sphere, there j
has been nothing to compare to it. j
Destructive storms and tornadoes ;
hqve followed each other in quick i
succession, in the states and of Texas, j
Arkansas and Oklahoma, every j
time the story of a storm comes from j
that section, there is a big downpour j
of l-ain all over the southeast. Geor- j
gia is included in the southeastern ;
states, consequently the weather in
this state has been one long succen
ion of big rains followed by unusual
cool spells.
The reasons for this condition of
affairs as set forth above may be un
satisfactory to the average inhabitant
of Georgia, but at present they are
the best we can furnish. They are at
least as good as the average
which, as a rule, doesn’t furnish any
very lucid or illuminating explana
lion.
Seriously there has never been
anything like it in this country or
probably any other. It rains without
any sort of reasonable excuse,
then it rains again without any sort
of reason whatever. The weat.ie,
IFbeVj»fcs*;:of■ rain durifig .the monin
of May is’ more than six inches, and
the excess of cold weather all throug.i
Che spring has been unparalleled.
What are we going to do about it !
Nothing can be done as we see it, ex
efipt to climb up above the clouds
view the sun—that is, if the sun is
still there.
The most regrettable thing about
the whole business is the effect on t^o
crops. Looks like they are all going
to be drowned out. The cotton that
is not drowned out will ,probably be
destroyed by the boll .'Weevil,
In the meantime, however, if any
body can scare up a better reason
Ilian those we have furnished, we
woud be glad to hear from them.

in that direction. In New York city,

success to have the next convention
of the, party in that great metropolis.
